Anybody want to join me for a running challenge? Set a goal here and mark it every day here. You can post your progress by creating a ticker at http://www.tickerfactory.com

You can run, walk, or do treadmill. Just be consistent. I am setting a goal for 85 miles since I did that last month. Beating it will be a challange since I will be out of town the last week in December, but we can help motivate each other. What do you say?

12/2 - 3.2 miles treadmill Total for December = 3.2 miles

    I can do this! Great idea!
    I have been running intervals - need to increase my time/distance, so this will be a good challenge!

    12/1 - 3.50 on Treadmill

    I need to do something before I end up in one of those fat person scooters at walmart. I will try for 50.

    I'm in. Signed up for my first half at the end of April! Following the sub 2:30 plan from Runkeeper which has me set to run more than 70 Miles this month. Gulp! That's going to be ambitious for me! :ohwell:

    12/1 - 4.1 on Treadmill

    I'm in! I'm shooting for 30 in December. I'm sure that sounds low but I don't count the miles I run in my bootcamp class M/W/F. Only miles I count are when I go out for a run!

    12/1- 5 miles

    I'll join in, hopefully this will help me keep up my running. I'm going to aim for 100km in December as I know it's easily achievable inbetween all my mtb sessions, as long as I actually get my shoes on and out of the door.

    I'm in. My goal isn't as high as some of yours, but I am going to set my goal for 40 miles this month. I'm newer to running and have lagged in the past two months. Today I did 1.79 (in hail no less!).

    In for 60 miles in December. 0.0 so far, but I did boot camp last night and it is early in the month. I probably won't log a run until tomorrow, but I will hit 60.

    I'd love to join and have some accountability. I'm very frustrated with my running, or lack of, lately. Please put me down for 40 miles for the month of December!

    No miles to report yet, but I'll get some in tonight!

    Thank you!! :-)

    Dumb question, but how do I add my ticker? Where is it in our settings?

    If you go into your ticker page, I think the link is:

    http://www.tickerfactory.com/ezticker/ticker_designer.php?type=8 << may be slightly different

    Then you go to your settings page. Make sure you type your pin in that you set when you created your ticker account.
    Then where it says "Your current cumlative value, there is an add button. Just add what you just did and the cumlative value automatically changes. Then hit next.

    Great Idea!

    <img border="0" src="http://tickers.TickerFactory.com/ezt/t/wChN4FI/blk-exercise.png"></a&gt;

    Not quite sure how to add ticker.

    After you hit next, it will give you a bunch of codes suggesting on how to display your ticker.
    Use the one at the bottom where it says Direct Image URL:

    It will look something like:
    http://tickers.TickerFactory.com/ezt/t/w6K1EiX/exercise.png

    To display that correctly in your post, make sure you place the img tags around that link. So it will look, (removing the spaces in the img tags):

    [ img ] http://tickers.TickerFactory.com/ezt/t/w6K1EiX/exercise.png [ /img ]

    So it will look like this after you post:

    Hello to: TLHarwick, gitnfit2, jacrosse, sandywerks, Lyerin, tirola, kijoneko, jenlarson75, vander7679, smerkord , ken1994, kevin3511, Slrajr, meags1971, Danielle0227.

    Thanks for joining me. If you stated your goal, then you are in. You will have to self report and track your daily (or whenever) accomplishments here. Then we all can see and cheer each other on. I advise you to get an account at Tickerfactory (but not necessary) and use that to display your total accomplishments. I already provided some instructions on how to display it up above. Let me know if you still have any problems via a PM. The main thing is to have fun with this and beat any personal goals. Some of us have higher goals and some lower, but as long as you are doing your personal best, it really doesn't matter what you set. Good luck to all and Happy December!

    I'm in! I just started running this March and I've really gotten into it. The last few months I've managed to run over 100 miles each month but the holidays should keep me busy and the cold will be settling in soon so I doubt I'll be able to improve on that so I'll be happy to just do manage the 100 miles this month.

    12/01/13 - 8.8 miles
    12/02/13 - 5.2 miles
    12/03/13 - 6.1 miles

    12/3 - 4.37 road (my nemesis the Snyder's Church Rd hill, someday I will conquer you!)
